Richard Stevens:
High temperature was 86 degrees. Winds were 7-8 mph. When I returned in the late afternoon gusts reached 24 mph.
I hike mile 0.5 to 8.5 and later mile 3.0 to 2.5 at Barr Lake (Adams County). An American Redstart was found just east of the banding station. Later a Townsend's Warbler was found in the trees along the path to the bird blind (mile 2.5).
Mosquitoes and heat shorten the morning trip. In the afternoon, I returned and walked below the dam (mile 6.0 to 7.2). The only highlight was a Hermit Thrush that stayed mostly hidden and took twenty minutes to confirm ID.
